The author attempts to explain the principle of justice in the Quran and Sunnah, explaining how Justice is an integral concept enshrined in Islamic Law and is a cornerstone of the Islamic Creed and is the opposite of oppression, which is condemned by Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saw) and chastises humanity against.

The book draws on historical examples of justice in early Islamic discourse from the time of the Prophet Muhammad (saw) and the rightly guided Khulafah (rulers).
